There's one important fact, that often get's overlooked; In the late 1930's, Rolls Royce applied for financial help, from the government, to continue developing their new ''Merlin'' Aero engine. They turned Rolls down, stating that the alloted finances for that year, had already been spent. So RR dug deep into their own coffer's, and found enough to continue----creating the War winning engine, that had no equal. Think of the planes, that became great, as a result of that decision , by RR. DID IT WIN THE WAR?----IT WAS CERTAINLY A MAJOR CONTRIBUTING FACTOR. BUT THANK CHRIST MITCHELL WAS TALKED OUT OF CALLING THE SPITFIRE ''THE SHREW''.
